Women In Higher Education Administration, Lorayne W. Lester

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

A review of the book "Women in Higher Education Administration," edited by Adrian Tinsley, Cynthia Secor and Sheila Kaplan. Published by Jossey-Bass.

Communication's Oratorical And Natural Rights Heritage And The Liberal Arts, Stewart Hudson

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article explores the philosophical and historical roots linking communication studies to the liberal arts tradition. Drawing on the oratorical heritage of classical Greece and the natural rights philosophy of early English empiricists, it argues that both traditions emphasized clarity, accuracy, and responsible expression in the service of civic virtue. The discussion contrasts these foundations with modern trends toward relativism, specialization, and professionalism, which risk fragmenting education and distancing communication from its liberal arts identity. The article critiques neutrality and adversarialism as inadequate models of journalistic objectivity, advocating instead for careful semantic discrimination and commitment to truth. It concludes that …

The Academy And The Professions: Inherent Tensions In Professional Accreditation, Vernon A. Keel

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the inherent tensions between professional accreditation and the university tradition, focusing on developments in the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications during the 1980s. It reviews the adoption of six general principles for accreditation, emphasizing institutional integrity, diversity, innovation, liberal education, academic control, and minimizing administrative burden. Major changes included a shift to unit accreditation, clearer standards, improved reporting procedures, and expanded professional representation. The discussion highlights controversies such as proposals to return to sequence accreditation, stricter liberal arts requirements through the 90/65 rule, and ongoing concerns about balanced representation between educators and professionals …

Journalism, Liberal Arts And Editors, Drake Mabry

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article explores the ongoing tensions between journalism educators and newsroom editors regarding the preparation of graduates. Editors frequently criticize students for weak writing, limited reading habits, inadequate knowledge of history and government, lack of accuracy, poor questioning skills, and insufficient passion for journalism. At the same time, educators argue that these concerns reflect broader issues in higher education rather than journalism programs alone. The discussion highlights survey data showing declining student interest in print journalism, largely due to low salaries and the appeal of broadcast and public relations, while also noting editors’ concerns about accreditation and liberal arts requirements. …

Professional And Liberal Education, Thomas W. Bohn

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the place of journalism and mass communication within higher education, arguing that the field must be defined more clearly to establish its role in liberal education. It critiques efforts such as the Oregon Report for failing to provide a strong philosophical rationale, contending that journalism is one form of mass communication rather than a separate discipline. The discussion emphasizes process as the core of communication, suggesting that focusing on communication theory and practice provides a more stable foundation than media- or technology-based definitions. Concerns over accreditation standards are highlighted, particularly how rigid credit ratios risk reducing journalism …

On The Margins: Journalism And Journalism Education, Douglas Birkhead

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article examines the identity of journalism education as situated between the press and the university, arguing that its position on the margins of both institutions should be valued rather than lamented. It traces the historical evolution of journalism, noting how early practitioners combined broad cultural and civic engagement with professional work, while later developments emphasized specialization, efficiency, and standardization. The discussion critiques journalism education for aligning too closely with industrial models of news production and for failing to articulate a broader intellectual role. It proposes that journalism educators embrace their dual position, combining scholarly insight with public communication to …

Graduate Education In Mass Communication: Meaningful Goals, James Fletcher

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article explores the relationship between liberal education and graduate study in mass communication, proposing a definition of the field that emphasizes systems connecting people, institutions, and technologies through mediated messages. It argues that mass communication contributes uniquely to liberal education by equipping students to function independently in a society shaped by complex message systems. The discussion critiques the tension between professional training and liberal learning, noting that graduate programs must balance preparation for media careers, research, and academic teaching. Three functions of graduate study are identified: retraining for media employment, advanced training for specialized industry roles, and doctoral preparation …

Sharing The Responsibility Of Media Literacy: Reaching Out To Other Disciplines, Jeffrey M. Mccall

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article argues for expanding media literacy education beyond communication majors to reach all college students, emphasizing the pervasive influence of mediated messages in shaping civic, political, and cultural life. It reviews historical and contemporary calls for media awareness as an essential component of liberal education and highlights efforts at DePauw University to establish a Center for Contemporary Media as a model for campuswide integration. The discussion stresses the importance of defining the fundamental contributions of mass communication to liberal learning, while avoiding overly vocational approaches. Proposals for broadening media literacy include cross-disciplinary team teaching, faculty development initiatives, lecture series, …

Academic Values Are Losing Out To The Narrow Values Of Industry Representatives In The Accreditation Process, Robert O. Blanchard

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article critiques the dominance of professional values in the accreditation of journalism and mass communication programs, arguing that academic perspectives have been marginalized in the process. It highlights how accreditation policies, shaped largely by industry representatives, have defined all journalism and mass communication courses as non-liberal arts, a stance that threatens the intellectual and academic identity of the field. The discussion emphasizes that many communication courses contribute directly to liberal education through conceptual and critical content, and rigid vocational classifications risk undermining their value within universities. Historical perspectives and comparisons with liberal arts traditions are used to illustrate the …

The Basics Of Accreditation By Acejmc: Overview, Ed Mullins

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article provides an overview of the accreditation process in journalism and mass communication as administered by the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communications (ACEJMC). It explains accreditation as a system of certifying whether professional units meet prescribed standards and outlines the conditions required for eligibility, including practitioner-oriented mission statements, governance structures, and budgetary control. Twelve standards guide the process, with curriculum, faculty quality, instruction, resources, and diversity emphasized as central criteria. The article describes the multi-year preparation required for accreditation, the role of self-study, site visits, and evaluation by teams of educators and practitioners. It details …

The Role Of Journalism And Media Studies In The New Era Of Disciplinary Realignments, Willard D. Rowlands Jr.

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article addresses the role of journalism and media studies within the shifting landscape of higher education and disciplinary realignments. It situates contemporary debates about specialization and liberal education within a long historical trajectory, noting that tensions between professional and liberal traditions have existed since classical and medieval times. The discussion critiques views that blame professional fields for undermining liberal education, arguing instead that new specializations have often revitalized intellectual traditions. It emphasizes the interdisciplinary character of journalism and communication, which has historically linked professional practice with philosophical and civic concerns. Examples from Chicago School sociology, Dewey’s pragmatism, and Lippmann’s …

Introduction: It's Time To Hang Together, Robert O. Blanchard, William G. Christ

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This introduction outlines the purpose of a symposium on the role of communication and media studies in liberal education, held at Trinity University in 1987. The gathering sought to address how mass communication could be more fully integrated into the liberal arts through conceptual and collaborative dialogue. Papers prepared for the symposium examined what is fundamental to the discipline, how communication faculty can engage with colleagues in traditional fields, and how undergraduate education might be broadened to balance specialization with liberal learning. Additional contributions addressed accreditation criteria and their impact on the liberal arts, as well as broader historical and …

Professional And Liberal Education: An Agenda For Journalism And Mass Communication, Robert O. Blanchard, William G. Christ

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article addresses the challenges of defining liberal education and the place of journalism and mass communication within it. It reviews competing conceptions of liberal education as content, faculty intent, or student outcomes, and argues that professional fields can make meaningful contributions to liberal learning through skills such as communication, contextual awareness, adaptability, and critical inquiry. The discussion critiques the tendency of traditional disciplines to resist emerging fields and the tendency of professional programs to overemphasize narrow vocational goals. To advance a more integrated approach, the article proposes four steps: evaluating journalism and mass communication programs for fundamental commonalities, building …
